Io Saturnalia!

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(Our God is an awesome God)
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

CHORUS:
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

CHORUS

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

CHORUS(4x)

Our God is an awesome God
(Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above
(He reigns from heaven above)
With wisdom, power, and love
(With wisdom, power, and love)
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God



Catholic School has a lot to answer for.

you aint doing it right 'till you sacrifice a goat.

Hades is the only one who doesn't rape mortals as a matter of course, my vote is with him.

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 01:01 PM

Hades has the worst job ever. A bunch of people yelling at him all eternity, wanting to go to the isle of bliss.

I HATE JEWS.

*Gasp* NAZI!

I'm not much of a religion kind of guy, i would much rather live my life how i want to live it. I believe in god, but that's the closest i have ever gotten to religion.

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 01:42 PM

I HATE NAZIS!

mr.odd 12-14-2009 01:46 PM

Why are you such a hater?

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 02:04 PM

I HATE YOU!

I'm not a religious guy, I don't even like it myself. Although the stories are interesting.

I remember reading somewhere that Astronomers discovered that the star that appeared at Jesus's birth was actually a Supernova (I think). It took place five years before the Romans said it did, so technically we're in 2014 (I can't remember the month sometime at the spring/summer boundary I think).

I'll need to try and find out where I found the information.

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 02:36 PM

I don't consider Christmas christian. Just like I don't think it really counts as 2014. Some things outgrow their origin...

Nate 12-14-2009 02:41 PM

Meh. Too many people on this forum are dumbarses and couldn't debate their way out of a paper bag.


My view on religion is strangely similar to my view on Software Engineering; Postel's Law states "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". Or, to phrase it another way, follow your own religion strictly but don't get bothered by (or interfere with) what anyone else does.

I've always said, if the Bible wasn't a religious text, it would be a fucking best-seller.

used:) 12-14-2009 02:45 PM

So, why not just read it as a story and not a religious text?

OddjobAbe 12-14-2009 02:54 PM

When we had to read it when I was at school, I did. Unfortunately, not everybody looks at it like that.

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 02:55 PM

Because we all know it is.

Wings of Fire 12-14-2009 02:55 PM

Also it's not written like a story, it's written like a religious text.

It already is a best seller. Duh.

So have your own interpretation and stick with that.

It isn't very popular among atheists though, is it?

I do. Unfortunately, not everybody reads it as a story, and so we can't find the will-power to find out who really wrote it and praise their imagination.

I intend to read it one day since it's become such an integral part of our civilization and my mom recommends it too sort of, and she's non-religious as well.

MarsMudoken 12-14-2009 03:01 PM

I HATE THE BIBLE! IT'S NO MORE THAN A BUNCH OF WEIRD CONFUSING BABBLE, IN FACT...

used:) 12-14-2009 03:04 PM

So is the US Constitution, but look how well that's done for us.

Oh wait.
